After Switzerland, we made our way to Las Vegas for the Photo Marketing Trade Show and Conference. No exciting pictures to show from that, so I've uploaded some from Red Rocks Canyon instead, which we managed to get to just on sunrise one morning at the end of the week.
We worked hard for a week, and then decided we needed another break, so we went to visit our friends Gordon and Susan, who live in Salt Lake City, Utah, about 20 minutes from some of the best snowfields. And of course we went skiing! The powder snow! Amazing!! It takes a different technique to ski in powder, compared to the slushy or icy snow that we're used to in Australia, but once we got the hang of it, we were off, down the beautiful back canyons and everything. It was very, very cold, but the snow was beautiful, and even the locals could not believe how much there was of it.
After seeing the amount of snow on the back verandah, and the mound of snow covering the barbecue, of course Paul had to do a barbie one night, and dug himself a path to it. Very different from an Aussie Barbie! Have a look at the layers in the snow on the edge of the path. Paul actually really liked shovelling snow, although I think the novelty would wear off pretty quickly. In the picture behind Paul are the mountains where we went skiing.
